An authentic design inspired by military and commercial planes and helicopters provides a flying experience that's more realistic and more fun, with important controls that look, feel and work like the real thing. The force feedback joystick allows you to control your aircfraft with confidence as you feel its movement as well as its reaction to air turbulence and g-forces. The dual throttle allows you to precisely control multi-engine aircraft using the split lever. Rudder pedals with toe brakes give you true-to-life control, especially when rudder control is essential such as performing definsive maneuvers and crosswind landings, or piloting helicopters. Interactive, programmable throttle-base buttons integrate with simulation software and illuminate red, green, amber or off to indicate the status of critical aircraft systems, just like they would a real cockpit.

One one hand, you're paying a pretty good sum. On the other, this thing is pretty freakin' awesome.
I like:
+the force feedback (jerky at times, and there is only feedback on the joystick),
+the shape and feel of the controls,
+the general craftsmanship.
If I could tell past me to buy this or pass it up, I would say buy. It was worth it for me and my nerdy video game peripheral collection.
I didn't like:
-how long it took to set this thing up.

Hey Man this Logitech G940 really works Great. Its the first time I,ve ever used a rudder peddle and you can really tell the difference in flying using them. I would say to anyone looking to buy a "throttle, joystick, and rudder pedal" system, this is the way to go. Thanks to Amazon for a GREAT price.

I was given the opportunity to review this flight simmer system. As an avid flight simmer, I was very enthusiastic about the entire set-up of this system, which includes a joystick with force-feedback, rudder pedals and a throttle.
Pros:
1. Set-up: Right of of the box, I was impressed with the quality of the equipment. I inserted CD for installation, and within a few minutes I was using the system with my MS Flight Simulator (in this case FSX). Set-up for basic functions was fairly easy, but it is obvious that there are limitless ways for customization of this system. It is powered, so you need to plug it in first before use.
2. Quality: Obviously, when you are spending a significant amount of money on something like this, you want to be sure that it will last. Frankly, I thought that the items were of good quality for the money. The joystick is solid and hopefully lasts for a long while. The rudder pedals are very solid and seem well-built. They are actually pretty heavy and stay in place quite well. Similarly, the throttle is also a good quality item. Overall, it seems well built from a mechanical point of view.
3. Ease of use: First off, the joystick is a force-feedback design. In other words, as you roll on the runway, fly through turbulence and move the plane, the joystick will move in your hand. The joystick also has plenty of buttons for customizing weapons functions or aircraft features depending on your wishes (however, the basic features are already in place such as landing gear and flaps). Especially for combat simulators this is really a neat and immersive feature. The pedals are also very good for combat type games and add a very good feature. The throttle is quite easy to use as well.
4. Aesthetic: Well, from the start, you will realize that this item is NOT something to cart to work to use during a break as it is significant and takes up space. But, for its purpose, it is nice-looking. The pedals are well-designed and certainly look and feel as though they could be a home-built system. I do appreciate that the entire system looks like serious pieces of equipment and not like toys (even though they are in effect adult toys).
5. Immersion: Except for the overwhelming aspect of learning to fly all over again if your not used to this type of system (see below), the immersion of this system is pretty compelling, and it does make me feel as though I am more inside the game than just using a simple joystick.
Neutral:
1. Quibbles: I frankly wish that there was a off switch for this item so that you could simply turn off the features when you were done. Instead, you have to unplug the power for the system.
2. Overwhelming: This thing is not for a casual gamer. I had to re-learn how to fly again with this system as I never had pedals before (I simply had a rotating joystick for a rudder). After years of flying in a certain style, the learning curve is significant and takes some time. I cannot express how many times I accidentally hit a pedal and caused an upset or a stall or a crash during a heated dogfight. And even more times than I can count, I 'augered' in (or bought the farm) during a landing. This can be frustrating! So, unless you are used to this type of system, don't think you can simply adapt in a few hours and be fine - you will learn to fly all over again.
3. Size: Again, this is a neutral quality. It is a significant piece of equipment that you cannot just hide from spouses, children or snoopy friends. confess to your inner flight sim geekdom or this system will reveal it for you!
Cons:
1. Price: Well, the question you have to ask yourself is can you afford this item without causing a domestic problem. It is not cheap, but for a avid flight simmer, it is WELL worth it because of the immersive quality, and it sure beats tyring to build your own. Now, maybe I can set-up some more monitors!?
2. Quibble: I have several different flight sims including the IL2 family of games as well as FSX 2004 and FSX. As for combat sims, this unit is awesome. On the other hand, for flying a 747 in FSX, the force feedback is a little too much. I wish there was simpler way to switch off force feedback in different scenarios (and there may be one lurking inside that I haven't found yet), but sometimes the force feedback is a little too much and becomes gimmicky.
3. Durability: My only concern is that given the daisy-chain way in which everything plugs into the rudder pedal base, I sincerely hope that I can plug a replacement joystick (because these have a habit of failing after heavy use in short order) into the base unit without a significant problem. This hasn't failed for me, but rather, I just want to know that this will be replaceable in the future given the not insignificant cost of this system.
Overall, I think this is a really easy to use and immersive system that a avid flight simmer will enjoy immensely. I have a variety of Logitech products and I always find them to be well designed, well detailed and quality products. This system is certainly no exception.

It is very hard to give an overall rating to the G940 because I think it is better with certain flight sim software than others. I liked all the features of the unit but returned it after 30 days. I have flown flight sims for many years and tested many, many settings to overcome the issues that persisted but to no avail.
The main reason for the return was an overheating problem. It became very hot to the touch. This caused the heat sensor to drop the force feedback after about 45 minutes of flying. This is not acceptable. The overheating problem is documented by others in the Logitech forums but is not universal.
The second issue was the rudder pedals. No matter what settings I gave it, when I needed to input a small amount of rudder I received a large jump in control output causing the plane to yaw about 400% further than I wanted.
The joystick did have a large deadzone but settings did improve that quite a bit. Then Logitech came out with a firmware upgrade that improved the deadzone but I believe hurt the overall feel of the stick.
I really wanted to like this system as it does have so much going for it but in the end it just was hurting my ability to fly. For purpose of using it with IL2, I would give the unit I had 1 star.

I've gone through many other joysticks and the only one that can give me the feel of flying an aircraft or helicopter is the G940... Let's face it, there is no real fun without a force feedback device like this. I'm a real life pilot flying the Embraer 190 as a First Officer but before that (like all pilots) have to get the private and commercial licenses with the instruments and multi-engine ratings flying small airplanes like cessnas and pipers. The feel of small aircraft in FSX is close to the real thing (using FsForce2 add-on... the one default with FSX is not that great) in situations like the stall buffet, hardening of controls when flying at high speed, ground feel when taxing and on takeoff, touchdown, landing gear up and down, etc... Flying larger aircraft have a different feel that is simulated very well using this add-on too. When playing other games like IL-2, Wings of Prey, Rise of Flight, Strike Fighters 2 Israel/Vietnam/Europe and First Eagles 2 using a non force feedback joystick is BORING at times... but not with the G940... Now... talking about the features that this flight system has all I can say is wow... It has a lot of programmable buttons, hat switches and wheels... The feel when grabbing the joystick and throttle is great, it doesn't slip out of your hands like others... The profile manager is a must... First you have to clear all joystick association in the game (except axis) and then you build your game profile... Now with the new firmware (version 4.1 I think) and software (version 5.09) the feel and functionality have improved a lot.
If you want the best of the best... If you want immersion... If you want to give new life to all your games... This is the product for you...
